I wonder whether you have a problem with usrmerge.
What does this show:

  $ ls -ld /lib*
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  7 Apr 16  2022 /lib -> usr/lib
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 Apr 16  2022 /lib32 -> usr/lib32
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 Apr 16  2022 /lib64 -> usr/lib64
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 16  2022 /libx32 -> usr/libx32
  $ 

  $ namei -l /usr/lib/modules/5.10.0-22-amd64/
  f: /usr/lib/modules/5.10.0-22-amd64/
  drwxr-xr-x root root /
  drwxr-xr-x root root usr
  drwxr-xr-x root root lib
  drwxr-xr-x root root modules
  drwxr-xr-x root root 5.10.0-22-amd64
  $ 

Cheers,
